Once they are gone they are gone. I have had a few emails on a matte gray raised version too, if you guys are serious and want me to proceed with ordering a batch email me.

Thanks again for your patience, I hope you like the rings!

DIY- START/STOP Button Trim Swap YouTube Video DIY©

So I have had several emails/pm's regarding the difficulty of the Start button trim swap. I did a quick DIY video to show that it is a 1 maybe 2 out 5 difficulty and pretty much anyone can do this. I hope this helps.

Disclaimer: The following video is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, you assume any and all risk whenever doing any work on your car.

Look for your rings to arrive sometime this week. Next batch will go out this Monday.

Nice, thx for the video, look frwd to getting mine. This must be the easiest mod to install after the clutch stop

FIRSTM · 05-09-2012, 01:28 AM

Payment sent, thanks for the great work that you did for this community.

Didn't know about the personal payment option thing till now noobs still.

Keanu111 · 05-09-2012, 08:16 PM

I keep changing my mind between the raised matte and raised high gloss. Glad you like.

swimfreak · 05-09-2012, 11:28 PM

Got 'em today as well. They look great, even better than the pictures. Will be installing tomorrow to see which one I like best in the car. Thanks again, great work Metak!

Went matte because nothing else in the interior is glossy, and thought the matte was a touch more subtle, if that is even possible with a orange trim ring.

Yeah it's not as subtle as gray, but it is a small part of the interior. I have had several people say that the new ring is a nice accent that actually draws their attention to the orange stitching in the car which they didn't notice right away.

Orders are still coming in and the second shipment goes out Monday!

LOVEM · 05-10-2012, 12:41 PM

GOT mine last night. matte finish and gloss finish with raised letters are both awesome.
WELL DONE. thanks a zillion.:

OAM · 05-10-2012, 08:10 PM

Thanks Metak! Got mine yesterday, threw em on today!

///M1 · 05-10-2012, 10:52 PM

Got mine as well, thanks Metak!

mPlasticDesign · 05-12-2012, 11:28 AM

Looks good!

I only have maybe 25 of all 3 versions of the ring left(raised gloss/matte and indented). Current batch of orders ship on Monday. Glad everyone so far is digging the rings IRL!

Yes thanks Roger, I got it on Tues. unfortunately I can only make it to the US Post Office once a week, I am shipping these out every Monday, so yours goes out Today! Seems like everyone is getting them withins 3-4days.

Pretty cool to think that 11% of all US 1M's are rocking these already!

Yours was sent out 1 week ago today. First class USPS. Because it is Germany and there is customs, it might take a littler longer. I also gave it a declared value of like $5/each ring, in case there is some sort of customs fee.

There is a few of you guys that ordered from Germany, maybe you can chime in if you've gotten your yet and how long it took. Rick, if yours does not arrive this week I will send it out again. Just let me know.

Drillslinger · 05-15-2012, 02:11 PM

I got mine today so at least one shipment has made it through the APO system
